Introduction

This is a trecento work and is not by Cavalcanti, as DGR himself surmised (see his note
to “Canzone. A Song of
Fortune”. The actual author is unknown. DGR's source text in
Cicciaporci
(Rime Inedite, Canzone I, pages 42-44) is reasonably clean. It derives from a manuscript
in the Biblioteca Municipale di Siena (1.ix.18), which was the source of two other of
these inauthentic canzoni.
